A Fine Weekend
The weekend started out with a thorough analysis of what's wrong with
the car. Turns out that the bolt that held the suspension's lower arm to
the stabilizer bar broke. Whenever a bump was hit, the remainder of the
bolt would grind at the wheel support. The Mazda Parts store was closed
over the weekend, but hopefully tomorrow I can pick up a replacement.
Then, last night, I went to see Shrek 2. Definitely funnier than the original, with lots of a adult humour cleverly written so that it's suitable for kids. The new protagonist cat, "Puss" is very well written and rendered. We went to see this at Silver City, and they had these really neat neons implanted into the ceiling. Well, anyway, they looked cool...
Today was dedicated to the balsa boat. It got its prop shaft, a coat of fibreglass for the deck, and a skeg. Looks very probable that it will be out on the water this week.
